This is a slim chocolate bar packed with almonds, cashews, pecans, macadamia nuts with light puffs and crunchy almond cookies bits. The chocolate is not soft but hard and you can taste a hint of hazelnut paste that they have mixed in it. I love this nutty bar and I first only both the box of 10 pieces and unconsciuously ate 5 in a row while typing away of my pc! It must be popular with other people too because there are boxes of 10 pieces, 18 pieces and 54 pieces. Definitely I will be buying the 54 piece box next time! Yum! Yum!

This is good! I have written about the regular kurumaro previously and showed you a video of how hard it was to cut! This is much much better! In the box is individually wrapped kurumaro chocolate which is made of milk chocolate and filled with walnuts and marshmallows. Actually I like this a lot better that the regular kurumaro, not only because it is pre-cut, but I think the amount of chocolate and nuts and marshmallows seem to be more balanced. There seems to be less chocolate. Could it be because the petit kurumaro is a round disk while the regular one is loaf shaped or could it be that since I had such hard time cutting the regular one that I just think so? Oh well... whichever, but I surely would recommend this one and my BFF agrees!

This is a pure cocoa powder with no milk or sugar added. Contains 22-24% cocoa butter. Once you open the top, you get a whiff of intense chocolate. I have tried as hot cocoa and it was great because you can add the amount of sugar to your own taste. Also I tried it with a Williams-Sonoma chocolate coffee caked recipe which was great!
Here is the recipe:
Williams-Sonoma Chocolate Coffee Cake

Ingredients
for the streusel
2/3 cups of all purpose flour
1/2 firmly packed light brown sugar
/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
3/4 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or bitter sweet)

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup cake (soft wheat) flour
2/3 cup unsweetened Dutch process cocoa powder (I used ROYCE Jun Choco)
1 tsp each baking soda and baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups sour cream
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (essence)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (180 C). Grease and flour a 9-by-13 inch baking pan or dish. To make the streusel, stir together the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and add to bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut or rub in the butter until coarse crumbs form. Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Set aside. In a bowl, stir together the flour and cake flours, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

In another bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Add the dry ingredients in 2 or 3 increments, alternating with sour cream and vanilla. Using the mixer on low speed, beat until smooth and fluffy about 2 minutes.

Spoon the batter iinto the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle evenly with the streusel.

Bake until topping is golden brown, 40-45 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool completely. Cut into squares to serve.

On the box it is written "A marvelous chocolate paste with a hazelnut and almond aroma. A true delight with fresh bread or hot milk." I can't agree more!! The contents is 320 grams of heavenly delight! It is a smooth chocolate spread or as they say pate with almond and hazel nut paste. I used it as a dip for potato chips, pretzels, fresh strawberries and other fruit like bananas and pears. Spread it on toast and crackers...Just spooning it into my mouth....With this chocolate spread, I could probably eat my pc! (*^^*)=3=3

These cookies are crisp and with a bit more density that the White Day chocolate box and closer to Scottish butter shortbread cookie density. It is like a sugar cookie, with a coffee and a hint of cinnamon. If you like real sweet cookies, then this is not for you. The sweetness of the cookies is sufficient to satisfy those with a sweet tooth but not so overpowering that you would want to wash it down with milk or coffee.

I love my ROYCE' wafers! The regular wafers are a fav of mine and these strawberry creme ones are too! The light crunchiness of wafer coated in milk chocolate is fine enough but the strawberry creme sandwiched between the layers are superb!!! ROYCE' adds freeze dried stawberries to the creme so you don't have a cheapie flavor. Definitely try this. Much better than any KITKAT you know.
